In this week’s blog we decided to go through three features in the Windows OS that can be a big help. ## Built-in Dictation One tip that not many people know about is the built-in dictation feature in the newer versions of the Windows operating system. All you need to do is type **Windows key + H**. This will open the dictation toolbar. This allows you to use speech to fill out any text field inside of windows. ## Focus Assist With so many distractions it's not a surprise that we keep getting interrupted from our work. Notifications are built-in to almost every app, and they can be a little much sometimes. Windows offers the Focus Assist feature that will work to keep you focused and on track. Simply go to **Settings** > **System** > **Focus Assist**. Once open, you can configure the software to automatically turn on during certain times. In the Focus Assist settings you can fully customize the priority of the notifications so that important messages come through but that notification from Amazon about the tent you want to buy can be tabled for later. ## Use Multiple Desktops One really neat feature that Microsoft has rolled out over the past few iterations of Windows is the multiple desktop feature. It allows users to separate whole projects from one another and allow them to move between them seamlessly. To access this feature you can right-click on the taskbar and go to **Taskbar Settings**. Once there you need to toggle on the **Task view** option. This will create a Task view icon just to the right of the start icon on the taskbar. Push it and you can create a whole new desktop environment (with its own background) to help keep your work organized. Windows has long been one of the most important business tools and with Windows 10 and Windows 11, Microsoft has created operating systems filled with cool features and resources.
